The Red Fox Sportsman Club brought children and families outdoors with its fifth annual kids’ day Saturday, Aug. 20.
The annual event was completely free and featured a fishing contest, archery and .22 target shooting, with black powder and flint-lock shooting demonstrations by the Sauk Trail Rifle Club. A lunch of hot dogs and macaroni and cheese was provided, and there was a hog roast for dinner.
“We like to have families spend the day here and enjoy the club,” said Kids’ Day Coordinator Bob Buelow. “Everybody here does something to help.”
In the evening, there was a dance contest for the children, with music provided by the Rough Country Band. The band has members that also belong to the Red Fox Club. Families were invited to stay for a bonfire and camp Saturday night, and a pancake breakfast was provided Sunday morning.
